Sarah and Jeffrey exchanged vows in an outdoor ceremony at the beautiful Briarwood Golf Club. The weather was near perfect (Thanks Dale!) even though the forecast was for thunderstorms and rain for the entire day. We photographed Sarah, Jeffrey and the wedding party in a number of scenic locations on the grounds at Briarwood, before making our way to the Brecksville Reservation area of the Cleveland Metroparks. Back at the reception, still no rain, the evening got underway, complete with some heartfelt toasts, delicious meals and of course dancing.
I would like to thank my good friend and special guest photographer “Dale Kincaid” from “Somewhere In Time” photography, for lending his considerable talents and time for this event. It is a rare privilage and opportunity to be able to work with one of the leading photographers in this profession.


Kara and Nick’s wedding took place at one of my favorite ceremony spots; a turn of the century estate overlooking beautiful Chippewa lake. The Oaks Lakeside was completed in 1914 (known then as Five Oaks) and became a standard for hospitality and gracious living, along with playing host to the rich and famous of the day.
Kara and Nick’s choice of a 40′s couture theme was great, complete with band members wearing zoot suits. Kara looked beautiful in her wedding dress and coiffure. We had to dodge a few raindrops for the ceremony, but not long after the ceremony finished, the skies cleared and created a beautiful sunset over the lake.

Kara and Nick:
You both certainly make a GREAT couple. Honestly, it looks like you just walked out of BRIDES magazine. And I mean that in a good way. Now for some unsolicited advice: life is a collection of memories- make as many good ones as you possibly can! |

Gorgeous pics! I like all of the still lifes the photographer did in the beginning (creative!), but they do not compare to the pics of you and Nicholas! I particularly enjoyed the pics of you and Nick with the water in the background. You were both glowing!!!! You were a beautiful bride and you and Nick have a great life to look forward to. I am proud to be your mother. Despite the rain, it was still the most memorable wedding ceremony I will ever experience–creative, moving, beautiful and great fun! People will never forget it. I love you both. |
